Daily Deals 07/20/15

The Audible Daily Deal is a great reading of a Pat Conroy’s masterpiece, The Prince of Tides; for those with Kindle Unlimited, you can borrow the book and listen for free! Isaac Hooke’s ATLAS Military Sci-Fi series seems to be getting pretty good reviews and I think I’ll add it to my TBR list. Romance fans will want to take a look at the Nancy Pearl’s Book Crush Rediscoveries selection, Greensleeves, being reprinted by Skyscape (and much more affordable than many of the used prices I see quoted).

Today on Amazon’s Gold Box, save 43% on a Sony HTCT260H Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer. In the Bonus Deal of the Day, get 50-70% Off on Jones New York Women’s Clothing and save 75% on Masterpiece: Downton Abbey Seasons 1, 2 & 3 Deluxe Limited Edition (Amazon Exclusive Season 4 Bonus Features) [Blu-ray].

Today’s Kindle Daily Deal is Cancel the Wedding ($1.99), by Carolyn Dingman [Harper].

Book Description
A heartfelt fiction debut that will appeal to fans of Emily Giffin’s Southern charm and Jennifer Weiner’s compelling, emotionally resonant novels about the frustrations of blood ties, Cancel the Wedding follows one woman’s journey to discover the secrets of her mother’s hidden past—and confront her own uncertain future.

On the surface, Olivia has it all: a high-powered career, a loving family, and a handsome fiancé. She even seems to be coming to terms with her mother Jane’s premature death from cancer. But when Jane’s final wish is revealed, Olivia and her elder sister Georgia are mystified. Their mother rarely spoke of her rural Southern hometown, and never went back to visit—so why does she want them to return to Huntley, Georgia, to scatter her ashes?

Jane’s request offers Olivia a temporary escape from the reality she’s long been denying: she hates her “dream” job, and she’s not really sure she wants to marry her groom-to-be. With her 14-year-old niece, Logan, riding shotgun, she heads South on a summer road trip looking for answers about her mother.

As Olivia gets to know the town’s inhabitants, she begins to peel back the secrets of her mother’s early life—truths that force her to finally question her own future. But when Olivia is confronted with a tragedy and finds an opportunity to right a terrible wrong, will it give her the courage to accept her mother’s past—and say yes to her own desire to start over?
